Throwing away your oyster shell makes a waterman shed a single tear

This is technically from Friday, but we’re so intrigued by it that we’re including Susan Howson’s interview with Todd Janeski yet again. Oyster shells going back into Virginia waterways is a simple way to rebuild a coastal economy that’s suffered terribly in the past 100 years.

Gotta use the facilities

The Great and Ongoing RPS School Facilities Debate continues, now with your input. Hit up one of these 12 public meetings to weigh in on the district’s facility plans-presumably in more detail than “Hey, we need to hurry up and fix these dang facilities.”

Aw man, the Sugar Pad is going the way of the dodo. Just when we were really getting into it! Rick Tatnall speaks to us about his sadness…but also his excitement about the events scheduled between now and the jackhammer. Hopefully the City will hold off in time for us to get some more Full Moon Series in!

You can get a copy of those UCI banners and hang them on your ceiling and wake up every morning and remember the fun! And it’s cheap, considering the printer isn’t making any money on it. Here is how!
